Stocks

The Scenario:  Delphine Investments, a highly successful investment firm, has been actively buying and trading stocks in the stock market. Exactly one year ago, the firm purchased one hundred shares. Each share is in five different publicly traded companies. Each share is at a different share price. Here are the five companies in their stock portfolio: - BSC  - GOOG (Google)  - TWX (Time Warner)  - IBM  - WMT (Walmart) The purchase prices per share were $10, $20, $30, $40, and $50. Each company had a unique buying price. Over the course of one year: - Three stocks increased in value by 5%, 25%, and 45%  - Two stocks decreased in value by 15% and 35% Clues to Solve the Stock Market Riddle: 1. The stock purchased for $10 did not lose 15%.  2. WMT (Walmart), which was not bought for $30, and the $50 stock both lost money.  3. GOOG (Google) increased in value by 5%.  4. The $20 stock, which was not TWX, increased by 45%.  5. IBM was purchased at $40 per share. The Challenge:  Can you determine:  ✅ The original purchase price of each company’s stock?  ✅ The percentage change (increase or decrease) each stock experienced over the year? See answer
